Yes, several crops are seeded by airplane. Alfalfa, rice, and sometimes wheat are the most common. I have seeded Giant Bermuda Grass, as well as a mix of seeds applied over unharvested corn. Forest fire areas are often reseeded by air with a mix of seeds.
Other dry materials can also be applied by air. Granular fertilizer is the most common, along with potash, coal dust, and sulfur dust.
Dry material drops out of a gate at the bottom of the hopper and falls into the throat of a sheet metal 'spreader' that slings the particles evenly over a wide path.
